Alzheimer’s Disease Understanding

Alzheimer’s Disease: Overview

Dementia is a general term that refers to a decline in cognitive ability severe enough to interfere with activities of daily living. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common type of dementia, accounting for at least two-thirds of cases of dementia in people age 65 and older. Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disease with insidious onset and progressive impairment of behavioral and cognitive functions including memory, comprehension, language, attention, reasoning, and judgment. It is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States. Onset before 65 years of age (early onset) is unusual and seen in less than 10% of Alzheimer's disease patients. There is no cure for Alzheimer's disease, although there are treatments available that may improve some symptoms.

Symptoms of Alzheimer's disease depend on the stage of the disease. Alzheimer's disease is classified into preclinical or presymptomatic, mild, and dementia-stage depending on the degree of cognitive impairment. These stages are different from the DSM-5 classification of Alzheimer's disease. The initial and most common presenting symptom is episodic short-term memory loss with relative sparing of long-term memory and can be elicited in most patients even when not the presenting symptom. Short-term memory impairment is followed by impairment in problem-solving, judgment, executive functioning, lack of motivation and disorganization, leading to problems with multitasking and abstract thinking. In the early stages, impairment in executive functioning ranges from subtle to significant. This is followed by language disorder and impairment of visuospatial skills. Neuropsychiatric symptoms like apathy, social withdrawal, disinhibition, agitation, psychosis, and wandering are also common in the mid to late stages. Difficulty performing learned motor tasks (dyspraxia), olfactory dysfunction, sleep disturbances, extrapyramidal motor signs like dystonia, akathisia, and parkinsonian symptoms occur late in the disease. This is followed by primitive reflexes, incontinence, and total dependence on caregivers.

Treating the symptoms of Alzheimer’s can help provide people with comfort, dignity, and independence for a longer period of time and also assist their caregivers. Galantamine, rivastigmine, and donepezil are cholinesterase inhibitors that are prescribed for mild to moderate Alzheimer’s symptoms. These drugs may help reduce or control some cognitive and behavioral symptoms.

Alzheimer’s Disease Emerging Drugs Chapters

This segment of the Alzheimer’s Disease report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase II, I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.

Alzheimer’s Disease Emerging Drugs

• Nilotinib: KeifeRx

Nilotinib, also known as AMN107, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor under investigation as a possible treatment for Alzheimer’s Disease. It is an oral Abl tyrosine kinase inhibitor used to treat chronic myeloid leukemia. Nilotinib induces autophagy, leading to death of rapidly dividing cells. In neural degeneration, synuclein misfolds and aggregates as a β-sheet. Multiple observations now suggest propagation of the misfolded protein as a prion, providing a mechanism for the spread of degeneration through the neuraxis. Abl kinase phosphorylates α-synuclein and prevents its degradation. By inhibiting Abl, nilotinib promotes α-synuclein clearance by autophagy. Currently the drug is in Phase III stage of Clinical trial evaluation for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.

• AR1001: AriBio Co., Ltd.

AR1001 is a selective inhibitor of phosphodiesterase 5. This new pyrrolo-pyrimidinone was first developed for treatment of erectile dysfunction in South Korea, and is now being tested for Alzheimer’s Disease. Its maker claims AR1001 to be 10-fold more potent at inhibiting PDE5, and better at entering the brain, than approved PDE5 inhibitors, including sildenafil.

The rationale for using PDE5 inhibitors in AD stems from animal studies, where these compounds enhance memory and learning by increasing the intracellular messenger cGMP, and also possibly by improving blood supply to the brain. Several PDE5 inhibitors have been reported to curtail amyloid production, and to lessen neuroinflammation and learning and memory deficits in mouse models of AD. Currently the drug is in Phase III stage of Clinical trial evaluation for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.

• LY3372689: Eli Lilly & Co.

LY3372689 is an orally active O-GlcNAcase (OGA) enzyme inhibitor. O-GlcNAcylation, i.e., addition of N-acetylglucosamine to serine and threonine residues, is a post-translational modification that regulates the function of many proteins. In particular, N-GlcNAcylation of tau reduces its propensity to form toxic aggregates. OGA catalyzes removal of O-GlcNAc. OGA inhibitors promote tau glycosylation, prevent aggregation, and appear to stabilize tau in a soluble, nonpathogenic form. LY3372689 can be used for tauopathies research, including Alzheimer's disease. Currently the drug is in Phase II stage of Clinical trial evaluation for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.
